Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study is to:

Evaluate the serum Paraoxonase-1 level in cases with organophosphate compounds poisoning and to correlate it᾿s level with the severity, outcome of acutely organophosphate poisoned cases .

Evaluate the serum pseudocholinestrase level in cases with organophosphate compounds poisoning and to correlate it with the Paraoxonase-1 level in those cases.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pesticides refer to a wide range of chemicals that are employed to increase agricultural output. Several pesticides have been shown to have severe negative impacts on human health, including acute toxicity (accidental poisoning deaths, particularly in impoverished nations) and chronic toxicity (even at low concentrations) (Trellu et al., 2021).

In the central nervous system of mammals and insects, organophosphate compounds (OPC) inhibit acetylcholinesterase irreversibly by inhibiting acetylcholine breakdown during nerve impulse transmission. Continuous neuronal excitation causes a variety of hazardous symptoms, including slow heart rate, pinpoint pupils, and seizures and respiratory failure (RF) which is the leading cause of morbidity and fatality (Zhai et al., 2021).

The diagnosis of acute organophosphate poisoning is based on the individual's medical history, physical examinations, and toxidromes of acute poisoning. Predicting the severity, prognosis, and complications related to poisoning requires a variety of clinical observations, electrocardiography, and blood or urine sample results. Electrolytes, the complete blood count, and arterial blood gas are virtually always tested (Kim et al., 2022).

Research started to focus on Paraoxonase-1 enzyme after terrorists released sarin in a Tokyo subway in 1995, which resulted in several deaths (La Du, 1996 ). Scientists searched for a potent enzyme for the rapid clearance of nerve agents (Josse et al., 2001).

Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an esterase that protects low-density lipoproteins from oxidation and detoxifies organophosphates and nerve agents. Paraoxonase-1 is predominantly produced in the liver, although enzyme activity has been detected in the kidney and brain (Schomaker et al., 2013).

They are found in a variety of tissues and are mostly linked to cell membranes and certain lipoproteins, while a free enzyme has been discovered in the blood (Reichert et al., 2021).

Initial baseline data suggests that Paraoxonase-1 varies among healthy people. Paraoxonase-1 exhibits broad range of specificity, affinity and different rates of hydrolysis for organophosphate compounds (Li et al., 2000).

Levels of plasma Paraoxonase-1 can vary tremendously, due to the polymorphisms in the promoter region of Paraoxonase-1 gene (Furlong, 2007).

Human serum Paraoxonase-1 hydrolyzes organophosphate compounds and so may significantly alters an individual᾿s susceptibility to the toxicity of these chemicals (Richard et al., 2013).

control group

Group I (Control group): which will include 20 healthy volunteers who will be selected based on their clinical examination, recent clinical history, and age and sex matching to the case group.This control group will be the basic profile for the studied group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Serum Pararoxonase -1 level

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The individual's venous blood will be taken five milliliters under strict aseptic conditions of both control and case groups (before antidotal therapy). Then the blood will be left to be coagulated for 10-20 minutes at room temperature, then centrifugation will be done by laboratory centrifuge. Serum samples were obtained, then half of the separated serum will be used for pseudocholinesterase enzyme assay and the other one will be used for Paraoxanase-1 (PON-1) analysis .

Serum PON-1: The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) will be used to measure it using human Pararoxonase (PON) ELISA kits.

Serum pseudocholinesterase: is based on spectrophotometric measurement.
